COVID-19 Update

As a result of unfolding events related to COVID-19, Friendship Centers of Emmet County’s Community Mitigation Strategy continues to evolve as we assess and reassess the safety of the seniors in Emmet County and Friendship Centers staff. The health and safety of our seniors and staff is our top priority as we continue to monitor the needs of our most vulnerable. Our buildings are closed to the public. Please check here for the most up to date information about additional programs and services.

Community Mitigation Strategy

Our Promise

is to ensure that all senior citizens have the opportunities, information, and services necessary to live healthy, safe and active lives in dignity.

Contact Us

Friendship Centers of Emmet County is a non-profit organization designated as the Council on Aging for Emmet County. We provide need-based, simple assistive care services to seniors in Emmet County, allowing older adults to remain living in their own home.

How We Can Help

We work hand in hand to help all senior citizens thrive! Each senior is unique in his or her abilities and needs. Friendship Centers seeks to meet each senior where they are. Person-centered planning allows us to focus on the desires or goals of the senior and then work to address those needs with information, services, and opportunities.

Check Us Out

The primary reason people access the Friendship Centers in Petoskey, Brutus and Pellston is to meet with friends, old and new, as they participate in activities that enrich their lives. No membership required.
